The sun does come up every day. Get up early and watch the beauty.
Kindness matters even if no one else is practicing it. Spread the goodness.
Declutter.
Find experts. Read articles on healthy rural living for more tips.

Smile even if it hurts.
Save rather than spend. Most likely you'll need and appreciate the money later.
Conserve water. Someone else will need it.

Worrying? Work it off. Mow the lawn, vacuum the car, bake items for the freezer or neighbors, ride your bike, scrub the floors, weed the garden, play with the grandkids, plan an outing.
Appreciate your rural mail man/woman. They still deliver six days a week.
Add music to your daily routine.
Take a class just for fun on the internet. Learn French, make your own pasta, add hours for continuing education.

Find a daily blog that inspires you!
